Wine Tasting with Helen McGinn
We are proud to welcome Helen McGinn, wine expert and author, to the Imaginarium.
Join us for an intimate evening of wine tasting and books!
Helen will be talking to us about her latest novel, Under a Riviera Moon, as she teaches you what to look out for in a good wine.
The wine in question comes from a vineyard here in the New Forest, and we will be tasting four different wines produced on our doorstep. The Wharie Experience is based in Sway and owner and oenologist Guillaume will be in attendance, talking us through what it takes to make his locally produced, award-winning wines.
Both Helen’s books and wine from The Wharie Experience will be available on the night to purchase.
About Under a Riviera Moon:
When a heartsick Maggie is sent on an errand by her mother to Cannes, she is keen to get it over with as quickly as possible. She has been tasked with collecting a treasured box of photos from her late grandmother Elizabeth’s best friend, the impossibly glamorous Allegra Morgon who is desperate to tell Maggie all about the year she and Elizabeth spent in Paris. The sixties were in full swing, the air hummed with jazz, artists and students made the streets their own, and the City of Love was weaving its magic.
And against this backdrop, two people were beginning a love story that would last a lifetime - but be over too soon. As Maggie hears more about Allegra’s life, first in Paris, then New York, and finally on the Riviera, she is captivated and inspired. Was life always leading Maggie to this moment, this beautiful place so she could finally learn to stop living in the past? Because if she can, then another love story for the ages might just be within her reach…
